E9 E - My English portfolio Klasse 9

My English portfolio shows what I can do, how I improved and what I want to learn next. Du sammelst ausgewählte discussions, presentations, stories, reports, applications, mediation tasks, literary responses, research products und media projects. Du bewahrst Entwürfe, Feedback und Überarbeitungen auf und erklärst Deinen Kompetenzzuwachs.

English first → understand → respond → ask → hint → improve → use again. Deutsch hilft punktuell beim Verstehen und bei der Reflexion. Es gibt keine Vollübersetzung.

Einleitung

This course is for English as a first foreign language, Klasse 9, E-Niveau, Baden-Württemberg. You work with authentic, age-appropriate material, longer contributions, spontaneous follow-up questions and increasingly independent research. You compare perspectives, check sources and revise your own work.

Dein Portfolio ist kein Ordner voller perfekter Endprodukte. Es zeigt einen Lernweg: first version → feedback → revision → reflection → next goal.

Media task: Watch part of the discussion. Notice turn-taking, reasons, follow-up questions and polite disagreement. Do not copy the speakers. Use the strategies in your own topic.

I-can goals

Listening / Viewing: I can understand the main ideas and important details in longer, clearly structured contributions and videos.
Reading: I can identify claims, evidence, viewpoints and relevant details in age-appropriate texts.
Speaking: I can discuss, present, react spontaneously and ask useful follow-up questions.
Writing: I can write coherent texts for a clear purpose and audience and revise them independently.
Mediation: I can pass on relevant information for a specific person and situation without translating everything.
Text and media literacy: I can compare sources, notice bias or missing evidence and use media responsibly.
Pronunciation and fluency: I can speak clearly, use stress and pauses and repair misunderstandings.
Learning competence: I can use feedback, analyse recurring errors and set a realistic next goal.
Portfolio competence: I can select evidence that really shows progress and explain why it matters.

Vorwissen: Quick start

My best work: Choose one English product from this school year. In 60 seconds, explain why it is strong.
My challenge: Name one task that was difficult and one strategy that helped.
My next step: Finish the sentence: “In the next four weeks, I want to improve … because …”
Evidence check: Find one old and one newer text. Mark one change in organisation, language or depth.

Media entry: speak, present, reflect

Before watching: What makes a presentation easy to follow?

While watching: Note three useful presentation choices.

After watching: Try one choice in a 60-second mini-presentation. Ask a partner for one specific comment.

Your portfolio

Portfolio piece	What to include	Reflection focus
Discussion	A 4–6 minute discussion or structured observation notes; include at least one spontaneous follow-up question.	How did I react to other ideas, support my view and keep the discussion moving?
Presentation	A 3–5 minute presentation, slides or speaker notes and a short self-check.	Was my structure clear? Did my examples and media support the message?
Story	A revised story of about 250–400 words.	How did I create a clear sequence, atmosphere and believable choices?
Report	A factual report of about 250–350 words with headings where useful.	Did I separate facts, interpretation and recommendation?
Application	A fictional application for a school-related opportunity, internship practice or exchange project.	Did I adapt tone, evidence and examples to the purpose? Use only fictional names, addresses and contact data.
Mediation task	A purpose-based English or German summary for a named fictional audience.	What did the audience need? What information could I leave out?
Literary response	A response to a short story, novel extract, poem or film scene with evidence.	Did I connect interpretation to details from the text or scene?
Research product	A short article, infographic, fact sheet or presentation using at least three suitable sources.	Are the sources current, relevant and trustworthy? Did I represent different perspectives fairly?
Media project	A private audio/video, storyboard, podcast script, slide story or visual explainer.	Did form, sound, image and language support the message?

Privacy rule: Recordings are voluntary and stay private unless a clear school agreement says otherwise. Never upload classmates, private social-media data or personal application data without permission. A storyboard, script or live presentation is always a valid non-recording alternative.

Listening and Viewing

Use three passes when the task needs detail: gist → key points → evidence.

First viewing: Write one sentence: What is the main message?
Second viewing: Note keywords, examples and changes of viewpoint.
Third viewing: Check details only if the task requires them.
Response: Add your own question or short reaction instead of repeating the video.

Viewing task: Identify one claim about critical thinking, one example and one word that helps you talk about source quality. Then apply the idea to a source for your own research product.

Reading

For portfolio reading, use purpose first. Decide whether you need gist, specific information, evidence, language or perspective.

A strong reading note can be short:

Question	Your note
What is the main claim?	One clear sentence.
What evidence supports it?	Quote only a short key phrase or paraphrase the evidence.
Whose perspective is visible?	Name the speaker, writer or group.
What may be missing?	Note another perspective, missing data or an unanswered question.
How will I use this?	Explain whether it supports, challenges or changes your own idea.

Context vocabulary

Learn words in use, not as isolated translations.

Word or phrase	English meaning in this course	Use it
claim	an idea someone says is true	The author’s main claim is …
evidence	information that supports a claim	The strongest evidence is …
reliable	likely to be accurate and trustworthy	This source seems reliable because …
perspective	a way of seeing an issue	From another perspective, …
bias	a tendency that can shape how information is selected or presented	A possible bias is …
audience	the people a text or product is made for	My audience needs …
purpose	the reason for communicating	The purpose of this report is …
draft	a version that can still change	My first draft shows …
revise	improve content, structure or language	I revised the paragraph by …
coherent	logically connected and easy to follow	The text is coherent because …
feedback	information that helps improve work	I used the feedback to …
reflect	think carefully about learning and evidence	I can reflect on …

Pronunciation and fluency

Understandability comes before accent. Aim for clear meaning, useful stress, sensible pauses and confident repair.

Chunking: Group words into meaningful units instead of reading word by word.
Stress: Stress the words that carry your main message.
Repair: Use phrases such as “Let me rephrase that” or “What I mean is …”.
Interaction: Ask “Could you explain what you mean by …?” when something is unclear.
Fluency: Practise ideas, not a memorised accent.

Speaking: discussions and presentations

For discussions, use this pattern: position → reason → example → response → question.

Useful moves:

Function	Phrase
Enter a discussion	I’d like to add a different point.
Build on an idea	I agree with part of that, especially …
Disagree respectfully	I see your point, but I would argue that …
Ask for evidence	What makes you think that?
Invite another view	How do you see it?
Clarify	Do you mean that …?
Conclude	We seem to agree on …, but not on …

For presentations, plan hook → focus → 2–3 clear points → evidence or example → conclusion → questions.

Writing

Keep the first draft. Revision should show your thinking.

Story task: Watch for ways to organise a story and connect events. Then improve one paragraph of your own story. Keep the original paragraph next to the revision.

For reports, literary responses and research texts, use a clear line of reasoning: idea → evidence → explanation → connection.

For applications, use fictional data only.

Application task: Notice how examples can show strengths. Create a fictional student profile and prepare two evidence-based answers for a school internship practice interview. Do not use private addresses, phone numbers, social-media accounts or real employer data.

Mediation

Mediation is not full translation. First identify purpose, audience and situation.

Example: A German school notice contains six details. Your fictional exchange partner only needs three of them. Select, explain and adapt those three in natural English.

Mediation check:

Purpose: What does the person need to do or understand?
Selection: Which information is relevant?
Adaptation: Which terms need a short explanation?
Tone: Is the language suitable for the person and situation?
Check: Did I add facts that were not in the source?

Literary responses

A literary response is more than plot summary. Use point → detail → interpretation.

Possible prompts: How does a character change? Which conflict matters most? How does a scene create tension? How does a change of perspective alter the story?

Do not force one “correct” interpretation. Support your reading with evidence and respond fairly to another plausible view.

Research and media projects

Use at least three suitable sources for a research product. Check:

Author or organisation: Who is responsible?
Evidence: What supports the claim?
Date: Is the information current enough for the task?
Purpose: Is the source informing, selling, entertaining or persuading?
Cross-check: Does another credible source confirm the key point?
Media: Is an image, graph or clip shown in its original context?

AI rule: AI output can contain errors. Check factual claims, sources and feedback. Keep your own draft, make your own decisions and never send private school, profile or application data to an external AI service without clear permission.

Functional grammar

Grammar supports meaning. Review what your portfolio needs.

Communication goal	Useful language focus
Compare perspectives	contrast linkers, comparatives, whereas, while, however
Explain causes and results	because, since, therefore, as a result
Discuss possibilities	modal verbs and conditional sentences
Report information	tense choice, reported statements where useful
Build coherent arguments	reference words, pronouns, linking expressions
Tell stories	past tenses, time linkers and sequence
Add precise information	relative clauses and suitable modifiers

Do not edit every grammar point at once. Choose one or two recurring patterns that affect clarity.

Help levels

Hint 1 – Ask yourself: What is my purpose? Who is my audience? What evidence do I have?

Hint 2 – Use a frame: “My main point is … The strongest evidence is … This matters because …”

Hint 3 – Compare models: Look at two short examples and identify one useful difference in structure.

Hint 4 – Ask for focused feedback: “Please check only my organisation and whether my evidence supports my claim.”

Hint 5 – Improve independently: Make one change, explain why it is better, and use the same strategy in a new task.

Feedback and revision

Use feedback as information, not as a command.

A useful feedback sequence is:

Message: What is clear and convincing?
Evidence: Where is more support needed?
Organisation: Can the reader or listener follow the line of thought?
Language: Which two changes would improve clarity most?
Next step: What will be tried in the next version?

Keep both versions. Highlight three changes and add one sentence for each: “I changed this because …”

Error analysis

Create a small error log from your own work.

My pattern	Example from my draft	My correction	Strategy for next time
Meaning unclear	…	…	Read the sentence aloud and simplify.
Verb or tense	…	…	Check the time line before editing.
Word order	…	…	Mark subject, verb and key clause.
Cohesion	…	…	Add or improve a logical link.
Word choice	…	…	Check the word in context, not only a translation.

The goal is not zero errors. The goal is fewer repeated errors and clearer communication.

Transfer: use it again

Choose one strategy that worked in one portfolio piece and transfer it to another.

Example: You used evidence well in a report. Use the same claim → evidence → explanation pattern in a literary response or presentation.

Example: You used follow-up questions in a discussion. Use them after a presentation to handle questions more confidently.

Can-do check

Mark each row: not yet / with support / mostly / independently.

I can …	My evidence	My next step
understand key ideas and details in longer listening or viewing	…	…
compare two perspectives and support my own response	…	…
discuss and react to spontaneous questions	…	…
present a clear line of thought with suitable media	…	…
write coherently for a purpose and audience	…	…
mediate relevant information instead of translating everything	…	…
check sources and media before using them	…	…
revise my own work using focused feedback	…	…

Portfolio reflection

Write about 180–250 words in English.

Prompt: Which two pieces best show your progress? Compare an earlier and a later product. Use specific evidence from your own work. Explain one strategy that now works better. Name one realistic next goal and one action you will take.

Strong reflection uses evidence. Avoid empty statements such as “My English got better.” Explain what changed and where the change is visible.

Follow-up course

Use your final reflection to start the next learning cycle. Transfer your evidence, error patterns and next goal to E10 E - My English portfolio Klasse 10 or the next English unit.
